i created 3 partitions, the first one a 6.4 gb large fat32, the second a 1.6gb ext4 and the third a 217mb swap. extracting files onto the ext4 works fine, put haret, startup and zimage on fat, also named sdcard, and unmount and disconnect the phone. when i then click on haret in winmo, an error message pops up, and then haret boots. afterwards, im stuck on "android on omnia II loading.." for ages. any ideas how i can get android running or what im doing wrong? thanks for the reply.

@SOAB6661 have u made changes to Vold, Init and startup files as shown in the video..

[SOAB6661]

@aafirocks Yeah. I spent a total of about 12 hours on this, redid the steps in the tutorial about a dozen times, but it never worked. I got it working now though. followed all the steps in your tutorial, but left vold.fstab and init.rc unchanged, only changing startup.txt. strangely enough, it worked right away then. thank you for your tutorial though, it helped tons, especially with the terminal.

@SOAB6661, your welcome.. :-)

@SOAB6661 hi there what do you change for your startup.txt?

simple version is defective in general does not see my storage

everywhere there are instructions on how to install the main program I already did, but no one remembered to write anywhere how to install the update beta 2 and beta 3 ???????

[aafirocks]

@Kwisatz89, To apply the update there are many different ways..

1st: As suggested by the Developer team, just copy the update file to the root of My storage and run Haret, it should automatically update.

2nd: to change it manually using Ubuntu, This is a lengthy procedure and a bit complicated and risky too, so I wont suggest you this method.

I would rather suggest to search on the Modaco thread, there are a few post on how to install update. :)

@aafirocks, thank you for the tutorial, I finally managed to get it works! Iwould like to ask you just how it's possible to add update on the system...I've never get used to linux, so i don't know how to replace files on the system partition(to apply update1) and the last update(app2sd)

Thank you again
